In 1972, the pope of wine, Alexis Lichine, first made the estate's second wine under its original label of Chateau de Clairefont, or as it is also called now, Confidences de Prieure-Lichine. This Margaux benefits from the same methods of harvesting, vinification, and follow-up as the Classified Growth. It is made with the grapes of younger vines and is aged in second and third-fill barrels for 14 months

On the softer side, with gentle plum and cherry compote flavors lined with light sandalwood, herb and black tea notes that linger prettily. Drink now through 2027.
